Zanussi lower oven not working

Hi - the little dial that changed the setting of my oven from clock to auto etc has fallen off. Now my lower oven has stopped working. I noticed that the status has changed to AUTO which I think is the reason the oven isn't working as I used to be able to change it by sticking a match down the hole and turning the little wire that the dial was connected to. It is now damaged (doh!). Will I need an electrician or just a new spare part?

This tutorial will show you how to check your Zanussi element and how to replace your Zanussi cooker element.
Here are the 3 main faults to look for in your oven or cooker that is not heating

Your oven will not work until the clock/timer has been re-set after replacing an oven element or tripping the electrical supply. Consult your Zanussi manual.

If you're Oven is not getting hot or heating up it could be a faulty element, if the fan in the oven is running and the thermostat light is on, this will lead us to believe that the element has gone faulty. With grills the thermostat light should come on there should be heat, if not then this could be the grill element or the thermostat.

When you turn the oven on, the household electrical supply trips on the Rcd (this is the earth trip in the fuse board sometimes called the breaker tripping) your fan oven element has gone to earth and needs replacing.

If it is an anologue timer then rotate the knob until you see a hand symbol in the window, this brings it off auto.
If it is a digital timer then you need to press two or more buttons at the same time to get it off auto and back onto manual.

Hi this is propably too late now but we moved in to our new house six months ago and have a Zanussi ZBF 360 oven, and had no idea how to set the timer / clock. After fiddling around with the oven clock for the last 6 months i managed to set the clock. It shouldn't be much different to the one you have. Hope this helps you and others in the future.

Click the middle button until the little red things on the screen moved round to the clock symbol, then press + or - to get to the correct time, once you have done this it will flash for a few seconds then it will stop flashing and the clock is set. The same goes for the timer to set it when you want to cook something for a period of time eg: ten mins.

As for getting the oven timer to turn it's self on and off I am still messing with it and when i have mastered it I will let people know.

cant see controls on pic so this is guidance
turn function dial to "oven" you may be able on this dial to select fan or convential oven. turn stat up to required temp.
it is so easy that i just wonder if you haqve another problem. the usual is the clock set to "auto" in error. drag you handbook out and set the clock making sure you get in on manual. easiest way is to switch off at the wall and start from scratch. get back to me if this does'nt help
